Sorry for the late update - work sent me to Oregon last minute....
My wife dropped off the tape packages last Thursday or Friday - so they should be getting to you in the next couple of days. Sorry for the delays - findtape.com is a little slow with shipping... -Michael

BTW - this stuff works perfectly.
I have cured my front trim panel/vent rattles! Just felt up the connection & tabs between the vent piece and the trim. My new car sounds, well, new again! -Michael

I really wish I had taken photos, but here is a good write-up of what I did:
It's actually pretty easy, you just have to remove the trim piece (the vents will be attached to it) by pulling it off the dash (start from the passenger side and pry or just pull with you fingers), and when it is out unplug the two connectors from the center vent (they pull out with some force). You now have the long trim piece with two vents sticking out. Take it inside and find someplace comfy to work - I sat on the living room floor. The center vent has two screws holding to the trim piece, as well as about a dozen plastic clips that need to be uncliped. The smaller passenger-side vent just has the clips. The clips are a pain in the butt to unclip, I'll warn you now. Once the vents are removed, I felted up the trim piece: -Add felt to the area where the vent and back of the trim piece touch. -Add felt to the areas where the vent clips snap onto the trim piece. -Add felt around the area where the center vent screws into the trim piece. -Take out the start button and felt all around the area where it touches the trim on the backside. -Add felt on the dash where the trim piece touchs the dash. -Add felt around the plugs on the back of the trim piece that snap into the dash (they are like big bolts). Basically add felt everywhere that could possibly touch another piece of anything! You can test the connection by pushing on the center vent once you clip and screw it back into the trim - it should be completely silent. Remember, there is no such thing as too much felt! Now just clip the two vents back on, screw the center one into the trim, insert the trim+vent piece halfway into the dash, plug the two connectors back into the center vent (this is another huge pain in the butt - good luck, I hope you have small fingers), then push it all back into the dash. Take it for a drive to see if it is quiet, it should be! -Michael

I found some felty sheets at Michael's Arts & Crafts, although they aren't really meant for outdoors - but they've been on the back of my license plate for a year with no problems!
